Yes, the Church should be sheltering Muslims who are in extreme danger. But where was the world when Christians were being slaughtered like sheep by Seleka, for months after the coup?! It wasn’t even interested.

The Church must remember that the Christian militia are part of her flock too…..and support their efforts to a Just Defence (Seleka still kill Christians wantonly when they have arms), while warning them against unchristian revenge attacks. The Church has shown poor leadership in this area…..and it’s bordering on disgraceful.
